[Bug 886770] [NEW] Directory /var/log/libvirt/qemu missing in package

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

libvirt-bin comes with a /etc/logrotate.d/libvirtd that tries to
logrotate log files in /var/log/libvirt/qemu , but the libvirt-bin
package contains only /var/log/libvirt and not /var/log/libvirt/qemu. If
that directory is absent (i.e. when not made manually), the logrotate
cronjob generates an error message at every run:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error accessing /var/log/libvirt/qemu: No such file or directory
error: libvirtd:1 glob failed for /var/log/libvirt/qemu/*.log
error: found error in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/*.log , skipping


If a logrotate accesses a directory, this directory must exist. Therefore, please add that directory to the package (even if empty) to avoid thus error messages. It is not just an error message. It is an error. 

regards
